I always wondered about "over posting," in other words, posting the same thing on Twitter, FB and Google+, good to know that it's a good thing. That was a huge help for me.

I think I'm going to try this, because scheduling stuff on the computer has never worked for me...LOL...just ol' school I guess.

A project I know I NEED to work on is the photo piece. First finding some that are relevant.Second, actually taking the picture. For example, I've had to go to DC for the past two days, but because I'm still battling the flu thing myself, I have not felt much like walking around to take pictures.

I don't own photoshop though, are there any other programs besides that which may work for a complete (and I do mean complete) novice?

I would still consider tweaking the message for each area. Twitter is very short. I would lengthen the message for Facebook to have it be more complete. I woulnd't "restrict" the message in other areas just because Twitter has the length limit.

Paint does work. For your own sanity, though, I recommend buying a copy of Photoshop. There is SO much that you can do with images on the web, and Photoshop lets you do it quickly and easily. I find it's an essential tool for keeping my websites going. It lets me add images to my articles, images to my social networking feeds, images to my forum posts, etc. etc.
